Plain Speaking

I do not understand:
When a pronoun is used before the noun is stated.
"There is so much stuff going on. Things are getting too much"
When time is not set within margins.
" I will tell you later."
When a place is not specified.
"Let's go for a walk."

I can't see the point of:
The tribal bonding of banal small talk.
"Oh how terrible for you.
You are such a nice person for not getting too upset.
Oh I couldn't have coped ...blah blah blah"

I do like it when someone looks at me,
And talks to me earnestly.

Is that so weird ?

Frustrating Conversations

Small talk,
I loathe the incessant amount of meaningless twaddle that pours on me.
But I am odd, I know it.
I observe others.
They appear to understand hidden meanings,
That must be there,
In gesture, tone of voice, stance and
Every subtle movement,
That makes up the language of the body.
I don't get it.
I hear words like 'good' and 'things' and 'nice'.
No REAL information!

"How was your journey?"
" Good!"
" That's nice."
"Yes, we managed to get things done."
" Oh good"
" Well it's been good catching up on your news. Have a nice day."

Oh yuck, get me a bucket!
